Historical Writing

I believe the thesis of my book is how Lincoln influenced the war and mainly his ideas. I have been thinking about my essay. It is basically going to be an biography or diary. Haven't decided. His motivation is how everyone should be equal. Lincoln is going to be making speeches and sharing his ideas.

Motivations

People get motivated sometimes by money, or by love, but sometimes by guilt. AT some point in time it is okay to be a little selfish, but most of the time it is just wring doing. Sometimes you need to help yourself before others. One time, I really wanted a cell phone. So I created a list of all the things that good can come from: easier, I need it for sports, it's safe, and more. In the end I did get a cell phone and I believe that it helped to motivate my mom and dad that by getting me this phone I would be better and get my grades up even more.

To Fight or Not To Fight

I believe that there are many times in which it is the right time to fight. It is okay to fight your your rights and opinions. Becoming violent is not the solution though. There are other ways like stating your side or asking somebody else for assistance. I would fight for my rights or if someone was not being respectable to he people i love, friends or family, I would fight.

Free Will

In our world today free will, doesn't come free. In some countries, free will is a necessity and is the norm. In others, it is prohibited and unheard from. USA is for free will. people are allowed to choose what they want. Their destiny, religion, and what to say but there are boundaries. The world mostly is not free will, but I have faith and believe that someday everyone will have the choice and opportunity. The reason I chose my answer is due to the fact that us Americans may have free will, but Iranians do not. Although in the United States you don't just get free will right off the spot and you can't just do whatever you want. Us kids don't get free will until about the age on 18. Some say that it is fair, they are obviously not a kid then. So I would disagree with them. If you watch the news or even travel to another country you might find the lesser privileges that some people have.

Changing the School

if i was able to change the school it would not be very much different. First off I would change the dress code so that anyone could wear anything they wanted. Next I would make all classes teach only what is necessary to real life. Next I would unblock all sites from the Internet and trust kids. Yes, the students would still be prepared for high school.

Reflection

I believe that our discussion was good. We had facts and really stuck to our point. My group probably could have been a little nicer. I believe that this assignment was useless. Nothing was really challenging about this project. It was easy to talk for ten minutes and have  a discussion.

Population Loss

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/23/us/23detroit.html?ref=us

I believe that the reason for the loss of the population is because of the poor qualities of the city. The crime rate in unbearable and people are moving the the suburbs just to be safe. This just so how not right the city is. this should change.

The Man and the Penny

There once was a man who lived in a forest. This forest was on the edge of the town, no one dared to enter it, except for the man. One day the man took a troll through his woods to be sure no one was spying on him. As he was crossing a fallen tree, he noticed something unusual. A penny to be precise. Then, a penny was a bountiful of money. So the man carefully picked it up but the thought still lingered. The idea that someone has been in his woods and dropped this gift. He sprinted home but every couple yards or two stop to look at his surrounds to make sure that he had not been followed. Once he was in his little shack he set the penny carefully down on the table. Suddenly, the penny pops up. The penny says, "BOO!". The man run and run till he reaches the end of the forest screaming. No one ever again entered the forest.

3/21/11

I believe that no matter what, human will not be equal. There will always be different looks and abilities. The world would just simply be a boring place. Nothing new would happen, nothing exciting. Everyone, everyday, and everything would be the same. What's the fun in that?

Super Powers

If I could have one super human power, I would choose to be able to fly. Walking or running wouldn't be an option. being able to fly would be really fun and would never get old.

Respect

Respect is not just something that you can receive on a dime. Over time other might be able to respect you only if you give respect as well. People may believe that, "Oh I am the older one, you need to respect me!" which is not always the case. In that case you would have to earn it to prove to them that you should be treated better. Respect isn't just a title to have, it is a responsibility. Respecting other is also.
